34 Weeks
Disclaimer: Cal's room is full of stuff & I have no where to take my pictures. This is behind his bedroom door. Horrible lighting & all. :)
How far along: 34 weeks
Gender: A Prince.
Weight gain: 23 lbs gained. At 140. Started 117lbs. (HATE)
Maternity clothes: Maxi dresses. And I look like a whale. I always promise everyone to
never let me wear tent dresses, but it's way too hot & I'm way too big for anything else.

Stretch marks: NONE :) Yet...
Belly button in or out: Almost flat!
Sleep: Sleep has been amazing with my new sitting up position supported by a pregnancy pillow, a body pillow & two regular pillows. However, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get over those pillows & out of bed for any reason! I fell out of bed trying to roll over one the other night :(
Best moment this week: Buying Cal's carseat & waking up to his stroller on the door step! <3 Moments I have dreamed about forever... Eric & I are in awe. We push it around the house daily :) And of course my last day of work! AMAZING to be free!
Movement: Of course lots of movement like always. Now in several different places at the same time. Like my groin & ribs at once because someone feels like doing yoga.

Cravings: Iced Coffee. Big shocker I know. Sweets & cereal too. Pretty much my norm.
Queasy or sick: I get bad hot flashes with nausea but I think it's just from the actual hot weather. HATE living in this desert for summer.
Symptoms: BIG. Is big a symptom? Cause I'm feeling it. Swollen feets. Rib pain. Pressure & pain in my poor general crotch area. Contractions every few hours.
Looking forward to: Freedom to finish nesting!!! Spending time with Eric while its still just the two of us.
FEARS: Pushing a baby out of my lady bits. Getting bigger. And my doctor changing his mind about a 38 week delivery. I will die if he decides to wait longer.
Current Delivery Plan :)
We have an appointment on Friday morning for another ultrasound to update our plan. We are still seen at high risk, and my amazing doctor does everything as he pleases based on each patient & not on stupid protocol. Thank god for him. Just like the past few weeks, we see him weekly, he measures Cal via ultrasound, and decide from there.
Our current plan as of last week was a delivery at 38 weeks. Cal's head is currently measuring in the 83rd percentile, and 90% is considered abnormal. His fluid in his brain measures perfectly & my Dr. is not concerned at all. However, he does worry about my small frame delivering such a baby. So that is why we will continue to measure weekly & from those measurements update the plan. He also believes my body will naturally go into labor by then anyway. I am not so sure! Cal seems pretty comfy cozy in there!
I also still have my "NST Monitoring" every Tuesday & Friday for about 30 minutes on top of my appointments. I am hooked up to a contraction monitor & Cal to a heart rate monitor. They also do ultrasounds every tuesday at the same time to check the fluid levels. So far everything has been perfect! I love keeping such a close eye on my precious little man.
33 Week Flashback!
Sorry this one got missed. I haven't had anyone home to take my weekly pictures! :( So there is a couple randoms below & monitoring explanation.
How far along: 33 weeks
Gender: Boy :)
Weight gain: 22 lbs gained. At 139. Started 117lbs. (Boooo!)
Maternity clothes: Still anything that fits! Just invested in five, FIVE pair of comfy shorts. Boxer style, work out style, PJ style. I am done with clothes & it's SO HOT! :'(
Stretch marks: I think maybe one stretch mark & the brown line.
Belly button in or out: Still In :D
Sleep: I love sleep & sleep really well! Unfortunately I can no longer lay flat. Broken heart. I now throw up or have acid reflux the second I lay down. FML
Best moment this week: Hmm probably getting to spend Sunday with Eric & Thursday morning breakfast with my girl friends! Love them.
Movement: Always moving :) Some of which are very painful!
Cravings: With severe reflux this week, I don't love eating. But I still crave crap like donuts, muffins, sweets, all things really...
Queasy or sick: Hate to mention it again, but the reflux, nausea, throwing up deal SUCKS!
Symptoms: Aches, pains, severe pains, oh and acne... LAME.
Looking forward to: Still looking forward to being done with work!
FEARS: Getting huge! I have no idea how I could be anymore uncomfortable or in anymore pain! Not. A. Clue. I may die!
